About American Gold Eagles
The first annual American Gold Eagle was produced in 1986, after the Gold Bullion Act of 1985 kicked off the program. The gold used to make these coins is sourced directly from the US, with additional metal alloys for stability and strength. Gold Eagles have since become the most widely traded gold bullion coin in the world.
